Let’s talk templates!

Interlocking Gate Fold Base Card Template

Template 1 <base cardstock> from the subscriber tutorial.

 

 Today’s Facebook Live and this blog post- alter the base score to give a slight tweak on this card sketch and design.  I still kept it quite basic.  Once you make a few of these and alter the shape of the interlock closures – you can absolutely jazz up this basic design!

Interlocking Gate Fold How To: Steps

This card is featured today on Facebook Live – A Stampers Mailbox.  Hop over to see just how it’s done!  The variation is a simple change in the score lines.   Caution: the video is 1 hr 8 min long.  Because I made a couple of mistakes – we love those!  It’s opportunity to learn how to fix:) As well,  I colored these images from start to finish.

Time Stamps to Help you watch without the extra coloring & chatter time:

Card with Mini Catalog and Sale-A-Bration products

Today really was a beautiful day here in Oklahoma!  In the 70’s and sunny.

  The day felt so spring like it inspired me to color this card in these lovely pastel tones!

 I used Watercolor Pencils and Blender Pens to achieve this lovely soft look.

The inside is a sentiment and some subtle repeats of the outer images without the coloring.  I really like this greeting – we don’t often tell those around us just how blessed we are to have them in our lives!  Say it with a card!

One more view of the front!

I think now that I’m seeing it in digital format- I think the greeting needs a touch of something… maybe another mat of So Saffron Cardstock or maybe some inked flowers. Hmmm…  I really like the Daffodil Afternoon Pale Papaya and Vanilla Dot Pattern Paper.  Going to have to put the creative mind on it…

I would love to see what you do with this!   I host a monthly Stampers Club and next month the card exchange theme is Interlocking Gate Fold Cards.

I hope they are inspired by these cards and I can’t wait to see what all of their creative minds come up with!
